Chapter 15
"Aunt Xiao, your appetite has improved a lot recently, and now it's winter again, and it's getting colder and colder every day, and the kitchen wants to use the broth to make porridge for you, what do you think?" Aunt Rong asked.
"Okay, you can do it, but the rice soup has to be kept for me, and in the past few days, I have found that getting up early and having a bowl of rice soup on an empty stomach is more comfortable than eating anything."
"That's natural, and it's not an exaggeration to say that rice soup is elixir. Should you eat some millet porridge at night? Millet soothes the nerves, the rice soup boiled by millet is no worse than white rice soup, and it is good to sleep after eating. ”
"You're going to change my taste, right? Change it, change it, the more I can eat, the more it proves that my body is getting better and better. ”
"Hey~, yes, that's the truth, then I'll go back and order."
"Aunt Rong is really interested in Aunt Xiao, and she takes better and better care of her." Aunt Fang's tone seemed to be faintly sour.
"Needless to say, I can have today by relying on Aunt Xiao's support, and now that Aunt Xiao is sick, who will serve me if I don't serve?" Aunt Rong's tone is quite reasonable.
"Hehe......" Aunt Fang covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Ah, by the way, Aunt Fang, everyone knows that you care about Aunt Xiao's body, but you also have to take care of your body, I am in charge of the kitchen, and I have to eat while I am doing it in the kitchen, and I can't be hungry. But you're different, I just made breakfast and brought it to Aunt Xiao, why did you come over so coincidentally? I guess you haven't had breakfast yet, right? I said, why is it so coincidental every day, dare to love that you didn't eat breakfast, and you came to Aunt Xiao as soon as you got up. This can't be done, people are iron rice and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you're hungry and panicked, why don't you go back for breakfast first and then come over? Aunt Rong said slowly while sandwiching pickles into Aunt Xiao's porridge.
Aunt Fang's eyes widened, serving Aunt Xiao for so many days, the two of you have fought back and forth many times, and they have just been raided once, and before they can catch their breath, they make another ruthless move.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to make a reason, but he saw Aunt Xiao stop drinking porridge and looked at herself kindly, "Aunt Fang, haven't you eaten yet?" Ouch, how can this be, it's cold now, where can it be warm if you don't eat, go back and eat some, just take care of Aunt Rong here. ”
"Aunt Xiao, it doesn't matter, I'll go back and eat again, there is a girl to warm me."
"Aunt Fang, that's not what I said, when you have breakfast later, the kitchen will be cleaned up and the vegetables will be washed. I said how do you always see girls washing dishes and washing vegetables at the same time, no matter how you say it, I understand now, dare to love is because you didn't eat on time? Ouch, I wronged them. "Aunt Rong seized every opportunity to sarcastically mock Aunt Fang.
"Aunt Fang, you can't do it properly, when to do something, you can't eat alone from time to time, just let the family put down the work you should do and wash your late dishes and chopsticks. You are also in charge of the pharmacy, you know more than us, you can't lack anything and you can't miss three meals a day, go back to breakfast quickly, and come to talk to me when you eat. Aunt Xiao believed Aunt Rong's words, and looked at Aunt Fang's eyes with some reproach.
"That'...... Okay, Aunt Xiao, then I'll go back first, and I'll be back in a while. When Aunt Xiao said this, Aunt Fang couldn't insist anymore, so she quickly retreated after saluting.
Aunt Rong watched Aunt Fang walk out of the room, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, but when she turned her face to face Aunt Xiao, it turned into a gentle and flattering smile again, and continued to serve Aunt Xiao to drink porridge.
After serving Aunt Xiao's breakfast, Aunt Rong returned to her own territory in a good mood, and this morning she severely frustrated the woman's sharpness and let out a bad breath, and it seems that Aunt Xiao seems to be a little biased towards herself, probably she understands in her heart who is really good for her. However, that woman will have a counterattack at any time, and Xiao Gu, the old fox, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she still has to be careful before she officially submits the list, and must not lose her existing advantages.
Thinking of this, Aunt Rong hurriedly returned to the kitchen and asked someone to call Chef Li to talk.
Chef Li thought that she had done something wrong again, and she came all the way trembling, only to know that Aunt Rong was going to discuss Aunt Xiao's recipe with her, so she was relieved, and the two discussed for a while, and Chef Li retreated to prepare.
At noon, Xiangru and the other two cooks came over to make lunch, and saw that the dishes made by Chef Li for Aunt Xiao were much more exquisite, and the pearl meatball soup the size of cloud beans made of minced meat pounded with a rolling pin looked cute and delicious.
When lunch was over, the girls from each courtyard sent back the tableware one after another, and everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that the bowl of meatball soup was favored by Aunt Xiao, and the meatballs were eaten cleanly, leaving only the soup and side dishes.
Chef Li was so happy that she read Amitabha Buddha directly, grateful to Aunt Xiao for giving face, and having the experience of the former chef Jin Honggen, of course, she was also afraid that if she didn't serve well, Aunt Rong would be angry and demote her to an inferior palace maid.
Aunt Rong praised Chef Li after learning about this in the afternoon, and encouraged her to continue to work hard, use more snacks, and resolutely not let the pharmacy have a chance to overtake.
But thinking about it with her toes, how could Aunt Fang sit back and watch the situation where the advantage gradually approached Aunt Rong, she would definitely want to snatch the advantage back.
The tonic I bought privately last time was almost finished after taking it for so many days, and I was still hesitant to find the trainee medical officer again, because it was too expensive.
Who would have thought that Aunt Rong gave her a stimulus this morning, she was very scared at the time, but after returning to her own territory, she thought about it again, Aunt Fang smiled and decided to seize this opportunity even if it was expensive.
Aunt Xiao's attending doctor is Mrs. Xie, and she is on duty today, so Aunt Fang came to Mrs. Xie's room to talk to her during the lunch break.
Aunt Fang did not expose herself to make tonic medicine without permission, but directly used Aunt Xiao's illness as the reason to ask Doctor Xie to prescribe some more tonic prescriptions that are now applicable, so that Aunt Xiao could make up for it and leave the palace in good health.
Since she was diagnosed with Aunt Xiao's condition, she knew that Aunt Fang and Aunt Rong of the kitchen were going to fight to the death for the position of the eldest aunt, she had already made up her mind to watch from the wall, and she didn't plan to interfere at all, but since Aunt Fang asked to come to the door today, she couldn't refute her face.
"Aunt Xiao's health has improved, to be honest, there is no need to drink tonic anymore, I still feel strange, why is it that the tonic I prescribed for wind and cold has not been finished now? I was thinking about going to Cinnamon in the afternoon and telling it to forget if I didn't finish it. ”
"Ouch girl, Aunt Xiao is now in the critical period of physical recovery, of course you have to take medicine if you have medicine."
"But those medicines were for her to treat wind and cold, and now it's not right, so why take it again? What if I eat well? ”
"Okay, my girl, just don't eat them. It's just that there is still about a month before Aunt Xiao leaves the palace, the weather is getting colder and colder, her physique is still so weak, she loves you so much, you don't want to watch her get sick and go home, right? I heard that her hometown is far away from the capital. ”
Doctor Xie lowered her head and was silent, and only raised her head after a while, "What my aunt said is that I didn't think it through, and in order for Aunt Xiao to go home healthy and healthy, I have to take care of her better." ”
Aunt Fang stroked her palms and laughed, "That's right, good girl, let's prescribe a good prescription, whatever medicine is good, although our pharmacy is not big, there are still some good medicines." ”
"Auntie doesn't have to bother, Aunt Xiao doesn't need those good medicines now, ordinary ones are enough."
"What is the girl talking about, the medicine is good to get better quickly, come on, come on, I'll give you the ink, you just prescribe some good medicine, if you want to work quickly, I'll grab the medicine when I go back, and I'll send it over in the afternoon."
"Don't dare to work Auntie, let's let Madder come." Mrs. Xie no longer excused herself, walked to the desk and sat down, and called her apprentice to lay paper and study ink.
"If you can prescribe good medicine, you can prescribe good medicine, and you don't have to worry about anything else." Aunt Fang added.
Mrs. Xie raised her head and smiled, lowering her eyes and putting pen to paper.
After a while, Aunt Fang walked away happily with the ink that had just dried up.
"Master, won't the medicine you just prescribed be a bit rushing for Aunt Xiao? Aunt Xiao's spleen and stomach are weak, and her weakness is not replenished, and she is the most avoidant of warm tonics. For example, the kitchen has been using rice soup to cook for her these days, which is quite appropriate. "The little apprentice Akane sent Aunt Fang away and came back to solve it.
"I know this, but I can't help it, she thinks I don't know that she is secretly getting medicine from the pharmacy of Tai Hospital behind my back, in order to get Aunt Xiao's position, she is too utilitarian. But she can't be allowed to go on like this, Aunt Xiao is weak and can't stand the repeated tossing, so she can only take risky moves. ”
By the way, she can also send an opportunity for Aunt Fang to blame the kitchen and strive for a greater advantage in front of Aunt Xiao, Aunt Rong will definitely make a move in order to fight back, so it will inevitably lead to the person who taught her to use rice soup to recuperate Aunt Xiao, Doctor Xie believes that this person is the one who advises her behind Aunt Rong, and this person must have extraordinary abilities.
She saw him drinking a kind of ginger syrup water boiled with ginger and starch syrup at Grandpa Li's place yesterday, saying that it was called ginger syrup drink, which was a recipe from the women's medical hall to treat cold and cough.
She still wondered at the time, most of the people who were eligible to contact the Tai Hospital were from the pharmacy, but they were infected with the wind and cold and took medicine directly, no one drank this thing, who could have passed on this recipe?
It wasn't until last night before going to bed that it suddenly occurred that the recipe was most likely passed from the kitchen, because the kitchen of the Tai Hospital has someone to deliver food to it every day, and after so long, they are familiar with each other, and it is okay to say a few words.
Ginger and caramel are common items in the kitchen, and they are effortless to use, much more convenient than going to the pharmacy to grab medicine, and save people from being embarrassed.
That's right, it's the kitchen, there must be someone in the kitchen who understands medical pharmacology, otherwise they won't teach the tricks of rice soup conditioning, this thing doesn't look ordinary, but it is the best health thing.
Unexpectedly, I always thought that those people in the kitchen were elm heads, and several dishes have been made over and over again over the years, and she has not eaten a few new dishes since she entered the palace for nearly ten years, but she didn't expect that there was still such a treasure hidden. This aroused her curiosity, how did this person come out when there were no personnel changes in the kitchen? Why hasn't it been silent before?
"Master." Doctor Xie's contemplation was awakened by the little apprentice, and she gathered her mind and smiled kindly at the little apprentice.
"Shall we talk to the kitchen? I heard that in addition to the rice soup in the morning and evening, the kitchen also boils soup for Aunt Xiao every day, plus this tonic, if Aunt Xiao is really uncomfortable, will it be our fault to be blamed by the kitchen? ”
"That's Aunt Fang's headache, who can prove that Aunt Xiao's physical discomfort is a matter of food or tonic? She is about to leave the palace, except for the two eldest aunts who want to get her place, will anyone worry about her health? Read your books, you shouldn't worry about these things. ”
After Aunt Fang went back to the house with the prescription and got the money, she went straight to the pharmacy of Tai Hospital, quietly found her father-in-law here, stuffed the money, grabbed the tonic for ten days, and wrapped the burden to copy the path that no one was behind and returned to the women's hospital to hand over to the cinnamon who served Aunt Xiao, and asked her to eat these after the previous tonic was finished.
Except for the person who prescribes and grabs the medicine, no one knows what medicinal materials this batch of tonic is, and after two days the old tonic is finished, Yugui began to boil this new tonic for Aunt Xiao, one payment a day, after eating it for five or six days, it seems that Aunt Xiao's body has improved significantly, and her face has a bloody color.
But Aunt Xiao doesn't think so, she always feels uncomfortable, her mouth is always dry, and she still feels thirsty no matter how much water she drinks, only the two meals of rice soup in the morning and evening make her feel more comfortable.
Aunt Fang looked at Aunt Xiao like this, she probably knew that this was a little angry, she looked at the prescription, and the medicine was grabbed by her own hands, she naturally knew that some medicines were violent, but what she wanted was this effect, so that the aunts who came to visit believed that Aunt Xiao's condition was getting better with her help.
Because of this, she knew that Aunt Xiao's symptoms would disappear as long as she stopped the tonic and paid more attention to her diet, but she maliciously did not do so, but as soon as she heard Aunt Xiao say that her body was wrong, she took the opportunity to accuse Aunt Rong of doing things badly and pushed everything to the kitchen.
Aunt Rong didn't understand medicine at all, and couldn't tell what was going on with Aunt Xiao, and after being consciously reproached and ridiculed by Aunt Fang with a gun and a stick, Aunt Rong went back to the kitchen and blew up, and scolded Chef Li in front of everyone in the kitchen.
Chef Li was not aggrieved, but she couldn't argue, she just lowered her head and wiped her tears, and she couldn't say a word.
Aunt Rong lost her temper and shook her hands angrily and left, not demoting Chef Li's position, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, if Chef Li was also demoted, there would really be no second substitute cook.
Others were busy comforting Chef Li, but Xiangru felt that something was wrong, she was busy with things in the kitchen, didn't tell anyone, and quietly went to Aunt Rong's room.
